More looking back...

This year so far, we've seen new flyers grow & even some old friends go.

Doug & Emmanuelle joined us w/only distant memories of knee hangs, but both now not only have full (sometimes powerful) swings but also a back end position or two as well as feeling the return bar! I can hardly wait to see what they're capable of in the next few months...

Our old friend, Michelle W., has looked to the shores of Italy for more adventure & life. She left her corporate job & Manhattanite lifestyle for more exotic pursuits. I have memories of flying w/Michelle, catching her Cut Away for her 1st time in Central Park, her detailed dinner parties, her gorgeous sister (Renee) & having really nice (albeit intense) conversations of life, love & adventure.

And, our dear Leslie F. (no relation to Jason F.) also left her high-powered, corporate digs & NYC apartment to travel Europe & see far away friends. I fondly recall our taxi cab conversations, her famous (almost infamous) birthday party last year(!), her cute swing w/legs bending at the most peculiar times, her lovable, down-to-earth attitude, "heading west" in FL & hanging out w/her on her very last night in NYC.

With friendly flyers both here & there, I wish each Full round trips & safe returns...
